What I’m about to tell you will seem very odd, and it’s quite a shame, actually, because it’s the very crux of what is wrong with the legal profession today. The most important aspect of any attorney client relationship is TRUST. That’s right, TRUST, and this is why:

So, you’re planning on calling a good lawyer ‘right after’ you call your insurance company…? Let me tell you why that can be such a big mistake and it’s a mistake that can cost you a lot of money that’s simply one more real truth about the law, and this is why:

Why call an attorney BEFORE your insurance company after an accident? This answer should be readily apparent, but I am continually surprised by the number of cases I see that get compromised from the very start because of this basic pitfall, and this is how:

A very good question. A lawyer’s contingency fee on a personal injury case shouldn’t be taken out until AFTER case expenses have been paid or reimbursed. Some lawyers do it, but it’s not ethical, and this is why:

A lot of folks that approach me about legal matters begin with a very simple statement. “I don’t know if this requires a lawyer’s input, but just let me know if and when you have to put in real time and work and then charge me for it.” A word to the wise: Lawyers really hate that, and this is why:

This seems like an easy answer, but I can’t tell you how many people come to me for advice AFTER they elected not to hire a lawyer simply because they thought they were smart enough to handle the matter themselves without an attorney. That’s a really bad idea and this is why:

Probably one of the biggest misconceptions I hear about lawyers is that most clients tend to seek out the attorney that tells them what they most want to hear as opposed to real objective legal advice. That’s a really bad approach, and this is why?
